Crude Sunflower Oil is the unrefined oil extracted from sunflower seeds through mechanical pressing or solvent extraction. Characterized by its golden-yellow color and natural nutty aroma, it contains beneficial vitamin E and phytosterols but also retains natural impurities like gums, waxes, and free fatty acids. While nutritious, it requires refining for most food applications due to its limited shelf stability and lower smoke point. Primarily serves as the raw material for producing refined sunflower oil, with some limited use in traditional cooking where its robust flavor is desired.
